Kyle Regal didn't win the battle Friday night in Southaven, Mississippi, but he did win the war. The series points leaders consistency paid off as he extended his points lead over Matt Goerke. Regal's 2-2 finishes propelled him to the win over teammate Gavin Faith (3-1) and Bobby Kiniry (1-3). Regal now holds a twelve point lead in the series.
We have our first champion of 2015. In East Region Lites, Dave Ginolfi finished third to clinch the championship. GEICO Honda's Tristan Charboneau won his first career Lites race Friday night over Josh Cartwright and Ginolfi.
